Editing Document Types
When you make a change to an IS document type, keep the following points in mind:
*Any change is automatically propagated to all services, specifications, document fields, and document list fields that use or reference the IS document type. (This happens when you save the updated IS document type to the server.) To view a list of elements that use the IS document type and will be affected by any changes, use the Find Dependents command on the right-click menu.
*If you use an IS document type as the blueprint for pipeline or document validation, any changes you make to the IS document type can affect whether the object being validated (pipeline or document) is considered valid.
*The contents of an IS document type with a Model type property value other than “Unordered” cannot be modified.
*For an IS document type from a source file such as an XML schema definition or a WSDL document, Designer displays the location of the source file in the Source URI property. Designer also sets the Linked to source property to true which prevents any editing of the document type contents. To edit the document type contents, you first need to make the document type editable by breaking the link to the source. For information about allowing editing of elements derived from a source, see Allowing Editing of Derived Elements. However, Software AG does not recommend editing the contents of document types created from WSDL documents.
*Editing a publishable document type has additional considerations and ramifications. For more information about editing a publishable document type, see Important Considerations When Modifying Publishable Document Types.
